At 30% to 100% suppression, the default fall rate is 20% per day. Slave collar adds +15% and slave body strap adds +15%, so the pair lands exactly on 0% per day before terror or wardening.

1. Put a slave collar on every labor slave. It is the easiest permanent offset in the system.
2. Use a slave body strap on the body layer instead of fashion shells if you want stable suppression with minimal warden time.
3. Do not hand slaves combat armor unless you accept more suppress upkeep and more dangerous rebellions.
4. Use the drift calculator in the middle column to see how fast a specific outfit will bleed.

The wiki rebellion math gives nearby weapons a x4 factor and map-edge access a x1.7 factor. The local CompForbiddable.cs source also shows rebelling pawns stop respecting forbid logic, which means distance and area design beat last-second toggles.

• Keep slave bedrooms, workbenches, dining, and rec inside one internal allowed area.
• Exclude armories, equipment racks, trader drop zones, killboxes, and edge corridors.
• Use an airlock or offset hallway if any room beside slaves leads outside.
• Do not leave convenient weapons on shelves that share a hallway with slave traffic.

Allowed Area: Slave_Safe
Include: bedrooms, work benches, dining, indoor rec
Exclude: armory, equipment racks, edge corridors, killbox, trade beacons
Door rule: colonists-only armory access, double-door if hallway connects

Positive suppression offsets slow the fall. Negative offsets speed it up. Terror contributes +15% at 25, +25% at 50, and +45% at 100 terror, while the base rate is -5%, -10%, or -20% depending on the current suppression band.

In 1.6-era mechanics, Suppression Power = 5% + 2.25% per Social level. Authority cap multiplies that stat by 1.10. One suppress interaction takes 180 ticks, and at empty suppression the game can apply up to 2x the listed power.

Terror only matters if the slave is actually observing the source. A skullspike gives 25 terror. A terror sculpture gives 10 / 20 / 30 / 30 / 50 terror at awful, poor, normal, good or excellent, and masterwork or legendary quality.

The sign on the stat matters. Positive Slave Suppression Offset slows the fall. Negative values make the bar drain faster. The collar and strap are the core win. Regular clothes and armor can quietly sabotage you.

The base slave rebellion MTB is 45 days, then the game multiplies it by movement, suppression, slave count, mood, weapons, map-edge access, and whether any free colonist is around to respond. Use this estimator for the same quick sanity check the game uses behind the scenes.

Vanilla already gives you a complete suppression toolkit once the numbers are right. Add mods only if you want more control surfaces, more feedback, or a broader slavery sandbox.
